Welcome to Mr Aslanov’s cefr lessons

 
Q3. Symantec, McAfee and Trend Micro have the US market for antivirus software sewed up between 
them. But here comes Russia’s Kaspersky Lab trying to gain a foot hold. The Moscow-based company 
opened a sales office outside of Boston in February and has signed up about 40 resellers. Kaspersky reacts 
quicker than the giants to new viruses and other forms of malware, and gets fixes out fast. 
 
Q4. Sitting in the office armchairs all-day long has become the norm for many of us. Stress and rush make 
us forget about regular food and stuff our stomachs with cheese burgers and sodas, which don’t do any 
good to our bodies. As a result, we rarely find time for exercises, gyms or balanced nutrition and it’s one of 
the reasons why a lot of people are overweight nowadays. However, it is possible to change your lifestyle 
and lose your weight if you are willing to. 
 
Q5. The Internet is a very effective medium for spreading ideas or news. It eliminates geographical 
boundaries, and Greenpeace is aware of it, and benefits from it. For instance, in 1995, Greenpeace utilised 
its site to publicise a route that the French use to send nuclear shipments to Japan. They also included the 
fax number of the French Embassy and of the newspaper Le Monde so that letters of protest could be sent. 
Q6. The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear, like Stage Fear. 
They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t 
do this. Actually, the fastest way to learn anything is to do it — again and again until you get it right. Like 
anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let your fear stop you from getting what you want. 
 
Q7. Fuel cells are similar to a battery except unlike batteries, they don’t need to be recharged. Fuel causes 
air pollution and noise, while fuel cells do not cause either. Fuel cells don’t cause pollution because they 
don’t create waste like fuel. Fuel cells are also very efficient, so efficient that fuel cells have been 
providing energy on spacecrafts for a very long time.
